My husband and I are marathon runners and we wanted to run the London Marathon in April 2019.
We went to the official London Marathon website to check the authorized travel agencies. Since we are form Costa Rica, we contacted Sportiva by Gamma to ask if it was possible to run the race in April 2019.
Randall Mendez responded to my inquiry and we started chatting through whatssapp. He explained the package details, that included 2 single rooms, since the runners could not be in the same room, and the numbers for us to run the marathon in April 2019. We made two deposits in his account, total of $2000.
Two months before the race I contacted him to check that everything was in order and he told us that it won't be possible to run the marathon as he promised. We asked him to return our money and we are still waiting for that to happen. We are taking legal actions in Costa Rica, he still sell marathon packages.
I contacted Randall Antoinio Mendez Ramirez Mendez of the Travel Company Sportiva by Gamma in Costa Rica as he advertized on his website Tokyo Marathon Packages with guarantee entries to participate on the Tokyo Marathon. He claim that the entries were guarantee and he was a respectful and honorable serious company.
We were a total of 18 Runners and 5 companions total 23 people that I gathered $29,345.18 USD to pay for this packages .
On October 2017 the deposit was made for $9445.18 USD, then another payment of December 6 for $9950.00 USD and then On Dec 7 another payment for $9950.00 for a total wired amount to his bank account in Costa Rica for $29,345.18 USD
On Feb 2018 when Tokyo sent out the Notifications with instructions of participants none of the member of the group received a notification, and Mr. Randall Mendez communicated to the group that his associate in Europe that was getting him the entries for the Tokyo Marathon was not responding and that as a responsible company that he was he will be refunding the money to each of us.
He has been promising to return the money ever since and each time is a different story and a different date and nothing has been refunded to us.
Due to his lack of responsibility and honor to his word to return the money, my friends had taken legal actions against me in court for organizing the group.
This situation has caused me to file a law suit against him in Costa Rica and spend more money than I already lost in order to try to recover the money .
Meanwhile he continues to sell Travel Packages to participate on Marathon events around the world .
